My name is Aryan Mohan. I am 15-years old and a Grade 11 student at the Jamnabai Narsee School (JNS), Mumbai.

I am running this crowdfunding campaign to transform this flood-effected and dilapidated school located in the rural areas of Thane District.

I was very surprised and shocked to see the images of the school building, classrooms, and common areas and wondered how children are able to study in such an environment. Making the school and classrooms bright, cheerful, and safe and providing them with modern amenities will transform their lives. They will be enthusiastic about coming to school and this will improve the overall quality of education.

Through this campaign, my fellow students and I, aim to transform this school so that 175-plus students who come here, learn in a better environment and look forward to coming to the school. This will help the students reach their potential and leverage their education to build a career and life for themselves.

The design of the new school is very modern and contemporary. It is constructed on stilts so that all the classrooms are on the first floor and away from flood waters. It is a safe and wonderful environment to learn. It will impact students for generations to come.

Investing in infrastructure to provide high quality education is always a great idea.
